EP9 Starlight Reserves
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Göteborgs Botaniska Trädgård, GIBCA Extended, 2023-08-19.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The sculpture EP9 Starlight Reserves was installed in Amerikadammen in Göteborgs Botaniska Trädgård and part of GIBCA Extended 2023. This work is situated in the expanded field of sculpture, where the negotiation with a specific situation plays a central role in material investigations of environmental and sustainability concerns. The shape and title of the sculpture derive from the container of old batteries, "Exposed Pallet 9," which the International Space Station launched into space in 2021 to circulate around the Earth for 2-4 years before entering the Earth's atmosphere and hopefully burn up. [1] Commercial interests, colonization, and tourism led by rich nations and private companies contribute to the increase of space debris. The main inquiry of this research project is how artistic work, through visualization in sculptural form, can draw attention to scientific observations and advocacy in establishing international environmental space law concerning space debris. By using recycled plastic from electronic scrap for the large-scale IRBAM printing of the sculpture, the work highlights the potential for sustainable and ephemeral materials in sculptural production to promote environmental awareness and question the validity of the standard requirement for "permanence" in public sculpture. 3D printing in collaboration with Samuel Johansson and Woodrow Wiest RISE – AM center in Mölndal, Sweden with in-kind funding. Supported by Göteborgs Stad Kultur och Göteborgs Botaniska Trädgård. [1] Mike Wall, “Space station tosses 2.9-ton hunk of space junk overboard.

The Meridian S03E04 : Finding the way using starlight
- 2023
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Astronomers, such as Nic and Rebecca, are not the only ones orienting themselves using the stars. Animals, big and small, also navigate by starlight. In this last episode of the third season we invited Prof. Marie Dacke from the Department of Biology over to tell us about her research on the subject.In this third season we are also including some Cosmic Curiosities. These are some ideas, events or trivia from astronomic history that Ross, Victor and Lucian feel are worth bringing out of obscurity for one more look.

The Meridian S03E02 : The Hunt for Dark Matter
- 2023
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We are on a hunt for the invisible in this second episode of the third season of The Meridian. Ruth Pöttgen is a senior lecturer at the Department of Physics where she is studying fundamental particles. She is especially interested in finding that mysterious and elusive Dark Matter particle.In this third season we are also including some Cosmic Curiosities. These are some ideas, events or trivia from astronomic history that Ross, Victor and Lucian feel are worth bringing out of obscurity for one more look.

[Prussian] BLUESHIFT – Space Debris 2551
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Stora Alvaret, Öland, Sweden, The Swedish Sculptors´ Association, 2022-06-11.
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The sculpture [Prussian] BLUESHIFT - Space Debris 2551 takes its shape from the satellite Cosmos 2551. One of the biggest fragmentation events in space took place in 2009 when the abandoned satellite Cosmos 2251 and Iridium 33 collided, leading to the destruction of both satellites. To this day, over 1000 catalogued space debris objects from the collision circulate around the Earth and one of the orbits passes right over Öland. When an object in space moves towards us, the light from the object is called blueshift, which describes the change in the frequency of a light wave. The color of the sculpture is Prussian blue, which is on the World Health Organisation's list of essential medicines and is used as an antidote to certain heavy metals and radioactivity. The artistic research work questions ownership and responsibility for the pollution caused by colonisation and space tourism. Led by wealthy nations and private companies, this reflects the colonisation of the Earth whose negative impact on the environment and cultures we have yet to come to terms with. The sculpture is mostly created from recycled material from discarded student projects from the HDK-Valand art school and the Gothenburg Opera's metal textiles set design from the climate-smart production of The Ring of the Nibelung.

”Sipping Cosmic Latte in the Milky Way, waiting for The Big Crunch” and ”We are taking great pains to make sure there’s not an orbital debris issue”
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Rovaniemi Finland, Arktikum Science Centre and Museum, 2022-12-02.

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The two sculptures in the exhibition encompasses, discarded materials from the Arktikum Science Centre, the HDK-Valand Academy of Art and Design workshops and the Gothenburg Opera. The sculpture ”We are taking great pains to make sure there’s not an orbital debris issue” includes images from her collaborations with the artificial intelligence bot Midjourney, based upon the Elon Musk statement which is also the title of the work [1] regarding the SpaceX expansion. In my artistic research practice I explore questions of ownership and responsibility for the (light) pollution caused by colonization, space tourism and commercial space tech companies. Led by wealthy nations and private companies, this reflects the colonization of the Earth whose negative impact on the environment and cultures we have yet to come to terms with. It is estimated that there is already more than 200 000 kg of artificial material on the Moon, and the number of large pieces of debris in space is about 20 000. The starry sky we look upon nowadays is actually scattered with artificial lights which impossible for the bare eye to tell the difference. The sculpture ”Sipping Cosmic Latte in the Milky Way, waiting for The Big Crunch” is a reference to the color of the Universe as defined by scientists Karl Glazebrook and Ivan Baldry, named Cosmic Latte for its creamy yellowish white hue. The Big Crunch is a hypothetical scenario for the ultimate fate of the universe, in which the expansion of the universe eventually reverses and the universe recollapses.

Universums mörka hemlighet
- 2018
-
Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Here we follow the exciting exploration of dark matter, from the Big Bang to its anticipated discovery at the Large Hadron Collider. The first hints of dark matter were wound by Fritz Zwicky, the scientist who coined the term. We get to see the astral choreography witnessed by Vera Rubin in the Andromeda galaxy and then plummet deep underground to see the most sensitive dark matter detector on Earth, housed in a former gold mine.From there, we journey across space and time to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, speeding alongside particles before they collide in visually stunning explosions of light and sound, while learning how scientists around the world are collaborating to track down the constituents of dark matter.
